DA 06-258
Released: February 2, 2006
Enforcement Bureau Opens New Docket for the February 6, 2006,
Filing of CPNI
Compliance Certifications
(EB Docket No. 06-36)
In this Public Notice, the Enforcement Bureau (Bureau) opens
a new docket for telecommunications carriers to file their
certifications demonstrating compliance with the Federal
Communications Commission's (Commission) rules for protecting the
privacy of customer proprietary network information (``CPNI'') as
directed in a Public Notice released on January 30, 2006, DA 06-
223. Members of the public are understandably concerned about
the safeguards employed by the companies handling their private
information and contacted the Bureau seeking information about
the CPNI compliance certifications. Opening a new docket will
enable the public to more easily access these carrier
certificates.
Carrier compliance certificates for the most recent period,
along with the accompanying statement explaining how their
respective operating procedures ensure compliance with section
64.2009(e) of the Commission's rules, must be filed no later than
Monday, February 6, 2006, in accordance with the procedures
outlined below. Any CPNI compliance certifications already filed
electronically with the Commission will be moved to the new
docket by Commission staff. Carriers do not need to re-file
their certifications.
